The Synergy of Florasulam and Flumetsulam: Inside the "Korvet" Formulation

The efficiency of the "Korvet" herbicide lies in its dual-active ingredient formulation: florasulam and flumetsulam. Both components belong to the triazolopyrimidine class but operate in different areas of weed physiology, creating a robust shield against broadleaf weeds. Florasulam acts as a potent acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, triggering an immediate stop in weed cell division. Flumetsulam complements this mechanism, ensuring systemic control and residual protection against resilient plant species.

Technical Specifications and Field Performance

• Systemic Action: The herbicide is rapidly absorbed by foliage and translocated to the weed's meristematic tissues. This is crucial for controlling perennial species that would otherwise recover from contact-only treatments.
• Selective Control: Korvet is engineered as a selective herbicide, allowing for the cleaning of winter and spring wheat, barley, and fodder beet fields without causing phytotoxicity to the crop.
• Target Spectrum: The formulation is specifically calibrated to neutralize competitive weeds, including ragweed, common lambsquarters, cleavers, and shepherd's purse.

Application Protocols

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures high stability of the working solution and uniform coverage of the leaf surface. With a dosage rate of 0.1–0.12 L/ha, growers achieve maximum efficacy with just one pass. As a post-emergence insurance herbicide, Korvet is designed to promptly eliminate established weeds, preventing them from consuming essential soil moisture and nutrients intended for the crop.

The production of Korvet is carried out by major Chinese industrial chemical enterprises, including Nanjing Red Sun Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Golden Chemical Co., Ltd., and Shanghai I-Ton Chemical Co., Ltd. This cooperative manufacturing approach ensures strict adherence to international technological standards, resulting in a consistent, reliable product with a Hazard Class 3 rating.
